A review of the Outfront MN web site reveals that both Jean Wagenius and Wes Skoglund have 100% voting records in support of Outfront MN positions, including '96 and '97 votes on DOMA. The link is: http://www.outfront.org/action/house.html Wes Skoglund states that the committee vote was a calculated maneuver by DFL leadership to add the DOMA amendment to the Human Services bill in order to protect vulnerable House Members from having to take a separate floor vote. Later, Steve Sviggum moved to separate it on the floor as a ploy to get members individual votes. That vote was used in various elections and in the following year the DFL lost control of the house.
